What is PTO up to???

A quick recap of what PTO has been doing the past little while:

PTO gifted delicious handmade chocolates to every staff member as an appreciation for all their hard work first quarter

PTO will be donating $300 to help with Loretta Clayborne’s travel expenses. Read about Loretta and her amazing story here: www.lorettaclayborne.com or better yet – ask your child. All students have seen her inspiring video. She is a motivational speaker and will spend time with each team beginning February 7th. 

PTO will provide a breakfast for Loretta Clayborne and the Avi8tor team. The Avi8tors were key in initiating the visit from Loretta.

PTO will cover the expenses for Weekly Readers for the Top Dawgs team.

PTO will donate $150 (in the form of a Zoo Membership to be auctioned off) to the Taste of Kyrene event. This event supports the Kyrene Foundation. Learn how this foundation supports our kids: www.tasteofkyrene.org

There are many other things that the PTO does to support our school. We couldn’t do this without the generous donations and participation of our families at Pueblo.

Thank you for helping us Make a Difference!

Fitness Fun with Pueblo!
